00:53:02Yeah, yeah, I will.
00:53:23It's for a funeral, actually.
00:53:25My funeral.
00:53:26A funeral?
00:53:27Why the hell would you be having a funeral?
00:53:312016?
00:53:33Isabel sent me this ten years ago.
00:54:00Hi, Alex.
00:54:03I am recording a special video series for you.
00:54:06Gosh, my life's okay.
00:54:08Anyway, tomorrow, we are one year away from graduation, and I'm gonna make you a video every single day.
00:54:15And then on graduation, I will give them all to you.
00:54:18And tell you I have a crush on you.
00:54:22Don't you remember, Isabel?
00:54:24I told you how I feel about you.
00:54:29What the hell is going to shout out to you?
00:54:32I told you I wouldn't let you drown.
00:54:37Isabel.
00:54:39I like you.
00:54:44I know, we've been saying that since you were like five.
00:54:47No, I mean...
00:54:52Sam!
00:54:59Oh my god, is he hard right now?
00:55:16Got you now, you brats.
00:55:23I'm sorry, Isabel.
00:55:27I didn't let you drown.
00:55:29I let you down.
00:55:31If I'd been a little bit braver,
00:55:34it's just a little bit more persistent.
00:55:36I could have told you how I felt.
00:55:41Hi, Alex.
00:55:43275 days till graduation.
00:55:44I know you want to go to Princeton with me.
00:55:47So...
00:55:49What's this?
00:55:50Come on.
00:55:51And you are still smiling like it's nothing.
00:55:56Hi, Alex.
00:55:57It is now 211 days until graduation.
00:56:01Today, I snuck into your swim meet.
00:56:04And I saw Zoe.
00:56:05She just fell into your arms like a damsel in distress.
00:56:09And to make matters worse,
00:56:11you hugged her back.
00:56:13I'll be honest, I was so jealous.
00:56:14But then, you gave me your trophy.
00:56:18So I guess I'll forgive you.
00:56:20Admit it.
00:56:21You like me too.
00:56:26Hey, Alex.
00:56:27Hey, Alex.
00:56:28Hey, Alex.
00:56:30That was the day of Dad's funeral.
00:56:36I'm so sorry that I went to the funeral.
00:56:39I know you don't want to see me.
00:56:40I mean, it's my fault you die.
00:56:43And I know I'll let you mean to you.
00:56:45I wish it was me who died instead.
00:56:53Alex?
00:57:00You were invited.
00:57:06I thought you guys would all be gone.
00:57:08I just wanted to say goodbye to your dad.
00:57:09You're not welcome here.
00:57:11My dad saved your life.
00:57:14And you didn't even show up to testify.
00:57:16If he had to sacrifice himself,
00:57:18it should have been someone who was actually worth it.
00:57:20I'm sorry.
00:57:24Just fucking leave.
00:57:26Go!
00:57:27I'm sorry.
00:57:35Fuck!
00:57:36Fuck, how so stupid is it about?
00:57:39Fuck!
00:57:40Fuck!
00:57:44When you were rushing to the hospital for a heart attack,
00:57:46when you were dying on the operating table,
00:57:48I didn't believe you!
00:57:53I told you to go die.
00:57:58I'm so sorry.
00:58:07Hi, Alex.
00:58:11Alex, I'm scared.
00:58:29I don't want to die.
00:58:31I don't want to go to college with you.
00:58:33It's not really up to me.
00:58:35Maybe God just hates me.
00:58:38Like you do.
00:58:40Alex, I don't know if there's an afterlife.
00:58:43But if there is, I really hope to see you there.
00:58:45That is, if you and God can forgive me for my sins.
00:59:02Hi, Alex.
00:59:04Happy graduation.
00:59:06This is my last video.
00:59:08You left town today.
00:59:10I saw you packing up.
00:59:14But I know you didn't want to see me.
00:59:16So I hid behind the curtains.
00:59:19And then you looked up at me.
00:59:21You almost thought that you were going to come and say goodbye.
00:59:26But then you drove away.
00:59:29At least I know you still haven't forgiven me.
00:59:31It's okay.
00:59:37Isabel!
00:59:39Isabel!
00:59:41No, Isabel, you can't be dead.
00:59:44You can't be dead.
00:59:45You must be doing this because you hate me.
00:59:48Isabel?
00:59:55Zoey?
00:59:58Oh my God, Alex.
01:00:01It's been forever.
01:00:02I rushed over as soon as I heard you were back in town.
01:00:11Yikes.
01:00:12Looks like a haunted house in here.
01:00:15Don't worry.
01:00:16I can help you spruce it up.
01:00:17What are you doing here?
01:00:19Why so cold, Alex?
01:00:21Weren't we a thing back in the day?
01:00:22We just hooked up.
01:00:24Okay, we were never official.
01:00:26It's still a heartbreaker, I see.
01:00:29Well, you know, I was super into you back then.
01:00:32Okay.
01:00:33I'm not really in the mood for visitors tonight.
01:00:39What's that?
01:00:43No.
01:00:45Nothing.
01:00:47Oh.
01:00:48So, even Alex Brooks watches porn every now and then, huh?
01:00:53I get it.
01:00:54You've been single for all these years.
01:00:56You need to meet your needs somehow.
01:01:00No, I haven't forgotten about you, Alex.
01:01:03You don't need to do everything by yourself.
01:01:05Let me fill those needs.
01:01:09Get out.
01:01:11Seriously, Alex?
01:01:13Been a decade and you're still a fucking asshole?
01:01:22You...
01:01:22So you came back for Isabel?
01:01:26I...
01:01:26Seriously don't understand.
01:01:28Why are you not over a bitch that's been dead for 10 years?
01:01:30She's not dead.
01:01:33Stop spreading lies about her.
01:01:34You're crazy.
01:01:36You need to get your head fucking checked.
01:01:42Why does everyone say that you're dead?
01:01:45They're lying.
01:01:47Right.
01:01:47And where are you, Izzy?
01:01:53So that's where you are.
01:01:56I'm coming, Izzy.
01:02:06Hello, Mrs. Spencer.
01:02:08Alex?
01:02:13Thanks.
01:02:14It's been ages.
01:02:15What have you been up to all these years?
01:02:18I became a heart surgeon.
01:02:19A heart surgeon?
01:02:20That's fantastic.
01:02:22You found a great career.
01:02:23It was Isabel's dream to be working with Doctors Without Borders.
01:02:28If she were still around, I bet she'd be in some foreign place saving lives.
01:02:33If she was still around...
01:02:36Holy shit.
01:02:38Is Mrs. Spencer in on this too?
01:02:40Is she helping Izzy hide from me?
01:02:42Mrs. Spencer, do you know where Isabel's living now?
01:02:47I have something I need to talk to her about.
01:02:51Isabel?
01:02:52Are you in there?
01:03:12I'm sorry, Mrs. Spencer.
01:03:14I gotta get going.
01:03:16I'll see you again soon.
01:03:20No.
01:03:20No, it's a lie.
01:03:22She can't be dead.
01:03:23I promised I would become a doctor and I'd fix her heart.
01:03:25I'm gonna find her doctor from before.
01:03:28He knows her conditions better than anyone.
01:03:30Yes, Isabel Spencer.
01:03:32How could I forget her?
01:03:34It's been almost a decade since anybody mentioned her.
01:03:37Has she not gotten treatment for a decade?
01:03:38She was a stubborn girl.
01:03:40She once insisted on being discharged right after surgery.
01:03:44Said something about needing to testify in court for a friend.
01:03:49I don't think we should see each other again.
01:03:54You were in so much pain, but I didn't see it.
01:03:57Come to think of it, I remember you now.
01:04:01You used to come visit her when she was sick.
01:04:03But why'd you stop visiting towards the end?
01:04:06Toward the end?
01:04:08You're four of us, too.
01:04:13It's not true.
01:04:14It's not true, right, Izzy?
01:04:17You can't be dead.
01:04:19Alex.
01:05:02How is it?
01:05:04Disgusting.
01:05:05Liar.
01:05:06No, but if you really want to taste, I have the perfect solution.
01:05:09What's that?
01:05:14Well, how was it?
01:05:16Disgustingly sweet, right?
01:05:17I think he just wanted to kiss me.
01:05:22Isabel, how could you just die?
01:05:24How could you disappear just like that?
01:05:26Maybe it's really true.
01:05:28Maybe she really is gone.
01:05:32Isabel.
01:05:35Isabel.
01:05:43Isabel.
01:05:44I knew it was you.
01:05:45I knew you weren't dead.
01:05:48Alex.
01:05:51I'm time to see.
01:05:56Why is everyone saying that you died the summer you graduated high school?
01:06:01I had to leave the city.
01:06:04Leave all the pain behind.
01:06:08Hey.
01:06:09Ended up back here in the end.
01:06:12Alex, have you forgiven me?
01:06:14I told you.
01:06:15I don't hate you anymore.
01:06:17Listen, I was so young and dumb back then, okay?
01:06:20The last ten years, I have thought about you every day.
01:06:23Hell, every minute, every second.
01:06:26Me too.
01:06:27It's not too late, Isabel.
01:06:29We can start over.
01:06:30I'm never going to let you leave my side again.
01:06:34Sorry about the mess.
01:06:36No one's been in this house for years.
01:06:38But you can stay here with me now.
01:06:44How are you?
01:06:45How's your heart?
01:06:46I've been good.
01:06:48Yeah, my health has improved a lot.
01:06:50Still not perfect.
01:06:52My mom moved in with my grandma.
01:06:53And then I left for college.
01:06:56Came back after graduation.
01:06:57So why didn't you just move back into your old house?
01:07:00Or because it...
01:07:02Is it because you didn't want to see me?
01:07:04I just needed somewhere close to work.
01:07:07Why wouldn't I want to see you?
01:07:17So you know everything?
01:07:18I am so sorry, Isabel.
01:07:21I should have protected you.
01:07:23Been there for you.
01:07:25But I treated you terribly.
01:07:27Do you hate me?
01:07:28I could never hate you.
01:07:37Sorry.
01:07:39Just really excited to see you.
01:07:41It's fine.
01:07:43It's okay.
01:07:43Don't worry about it.
01:07:45I just got back to you.
01:07:46It's pretty empty in here.
01:07:49How about we go get some to eat?
01:07:51Yeah?
01:07:51Mm-hmm.
01:07:52Okay.
01:07:59What can I get you, sir?
01:08:02Pancakes.
01:08:03Definitely pancakes.
01:08:04You're probably craving them as usual.
01:08:06It's been ten years.
01:08:07I'm surprised you remember.
01:08:09How could I forget?
01:08:11I'll take a burger and pancakes for the lady.
01:08:22Hey there, handsome.
01:08:24I'm alone, too.
01:08:26You mind if I slide in?
01:08:28Uh, yeah.
01:08:29We do mind.
01:08:31We?
01:08:32Me and the beautiful girl sitting right in front of me.
01:08:36She's the only girl I like.
01:08:38And that's how it's been for a long, long time.
01:08:42Weirdo.
01:08:43Could have just said no.
01:08:48It's crazy.
01:08:50I also like the guy sitting across from me.
01:08:52And I have for a long, long time.
01:08:59Your total for today comes out to $55.43.
01:09:04Want to get that to go?
01:09:05It'll make a good midnight star.
01:09:09Sir, I don't mean to pry, but who exactly are you speaking to?
01:09:15Uh, my girlfriend.
01:09:18But sir, there's no one there.
01:09:21What do you mean?
01:09:31Oh.
01:09:33There she is.
01:09:39Be right back.
01:09:45What you feeling for dinner, Izzy?
01:09:46And don't say pancakes again.
01:09:50Isabel?
01:09:56We have a visual on target.
01:09:58I don't know if she's about you.
01:10:03Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you.
01:10:05I wanted to see what you want for dinner.
01:10:07I'll hope.
01:10:10Promise you'll never leave my side again.
01:10:12I promise.
01:10:14You saw my videos.
01:10:16You know that you're my one and only.
01:10:22You already missed out on a decade.
01:10:24And I don't want to waste any more time.
01:10:26Are you saying that you want to be official?
01:10:28If I am.
01:10:30Then what's your answer?
01:10:32Yes.
01:10:33A thousand percent yes.
01:10:37Let's be together a waste.
01:10:39Forever.
01:10:40Till we get old and gray.
01:11:09What are you watching?
01:11:09It's shiny.
01:11:11Actually really scary.
01:11:13You're so warm.
01:11:17Jesus!
01:11:19How do people watch this?
01:11:22You're not scared?
01:11:23Oh, yes.
01:11:24Scared to death.
01:11:26Oh, I'm sorry.
01:11:31Hold it any tighter and I think you're going to snap it in half.
01:11:35Sorry.
01:11:35No.
01:11:36It's okay.
01:11:37I just said you were holding it tight.
01:11:39Not that I want you to stop.
01:11:40I like the way you touch me.
01:11:51I want you to stay.
01:12:17Isabel?
01:12:46It scared me for a sec, I almost let you laugh.
01:12:55I'm not going anywhere, I told you I'd stay with you, remember?
01:13:01Isabel, let's get married.
01:13:05Like nothing more.
01:13:26Hey Alex, I know you probably don't want to hear this, but I still thought I should tell
01:13:31you, Mrs. Spencer is holding a 10 year memorial for Isabel, can you come?
01:13:38It's this Sunday at the church.
01:13:43What's wrong?
01:13:44Who's on the phone?
01:13:45Alex, you look like you've just seen a ghost.
01:13:47Who is it?
01:13:48Uh, nothing.
01:13:49Just a scam.
01:13:51As long as you're by my side, that's all that matters.
01:13:59Alex, hello.
01:14:01I'm sorry, it's nothing.
01:14:06June 23rd.
01:14:08The anniversary of my dad's death.
01:14:12Can I go with you this time?
01:14:13Yeah, I'd love that.
01:14:24Hey dad.
01:14:26Me.
01:14:38I've been good.
01:14:40Mom's doing a lot better too now.
01:14:42You don't need to worry.
01:14:44You'd want me to move on.
01:14:45Let go of my resentment.
01:14:47I finally have.
01:14:50Isabelle said she's going to marry me.
01:14:55We're going to start our own family together.
01:15:12Hey, what's wrong?
01:15:19I, uh, sorry.
01:15:21I, I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:24I didn't think I'd react like that.
01:15:26It's okay.
01:15:27You don't have to look.
01:15:29Okay, let's go.
01:15:34Sorry.
01:15:35I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:37I just didn't think I was going to react like that.
01:15:40It's okay.
01:15:42How about a massage?
01:15:45Okay.
01:15:57You selfish bitch.
01:15:59Go to hell.
01:16:16Can I help you help me?
01:16:18Now I'm already dead.
01:16:19I hate you!
01:16:21And I never want to see you again!
01:16:26Isabelle?
01:16:43Isabelle!
01:16:55Didn't you hear me yelling?
01:16:56Why didn't you answer me?
01:16:57Listen up.
01:16:58I can't breathe.
01:16:59Isabelle, sorry.
01:17:02I'm sorry I didn't hear you.
01:17:04What's wrong?
01:17:05Nothing.
01:17:07Just a nightmare.
01:17:09Isabelle, will you marry me?
01:17:11Isabelle, I can't handle this constant fear of losing you.
01:17:15I want to marry you, Isabelle.
01:17:18To be with you always.
01:17:19Day and night, year after year.
01:17:22Okay.
01:17:23Yeah, let's do it.
01:17:27Great.
01:17:28Great.
01:17:28All right, you go pick out a dress.
01:17:30And I'll call the church and buy you a ring.
01:17:32Oh, and I'll call our moms.
01:17:35Hey, Mom.
01:17:36I'm getting married.
01:17:38To Izzy.
01:17:39The wedding's tomorrow.
01:17:41Same place you and Dad got married.
01:17:43Hoping to make it.
01:17:56Why isn't the pastor here yet?
01:17:58We're just early.
01:18:00We'll be here soon.
01:18:05Mom.
01:18:08Mom, why is Dr. Hart here?
01:18:10No offense, Doc, but this is a family-only wedding.
01:18:15Mom, what's wrong?
01:18:17Alex, can you still see Isabelle right now?
01:18:20Yeah, of course.
01:18:20She's right in front of me.
01:18:23Have you been keeping up with your meds?
01:18:25Do you remember why I prescribed them in the first place?
01:18:28What?
01:18:31They're for treating hallucinations.
01:18:36Hallucinations?
01:18:37What are you talking about?
01:18:39Isabelle, she's alive.
01:18:40She's right here in front of me.
01:18:41I'm not hallucinating her.
01:18:42Deep down, you already know the truth, don't you?
01:18:46You're just too afraid to admit it.
01:18:48To admit the truth that Isabelle died 10 years ago.
01:18:54No, Mom.
01:18:55Why would you say that?
01:18:56She's alive and well.
01:18:56Why would you say that she's...
01:19:05Isabelle!
01:19:06Isabelle!
01:19:08No.
01:19:09No, no, no.
01:19:10She has to be here.
01:19:12You scared her off.
01:19:13She scared her off.
01:19:14That's...
01:19:15Wake up, Alex.
01:19:17Isabelle is dead.
01:19:19How long are you going to keep lying to yourself?
01:19:21No, no, Mom.
01:19:22She's not.
01:19:23She's alive.
01:19:24She is.
01:19:25She really is.
01:19:26You think she's alive?
01:19:27I'll take you to see her right now.
01:19:36Take a good look.
01:19:37What does it say?
01:19:45No.
01:19:47Oh, no.
01:19:49Isabelle.
01:19:51No, anything.
01:19:53Anyone but her.
01:19:54Anyone but Isabelle.
01:19:55No.
01:19:56Anyone but you.
01:19:57No, no, please, no.
01:20:17Alex.
01:20:18I'm here to take you.
01:20:20We can finally be together.
01:20:37Alex.
01:20:39Alex.
01:20:44Miss Spencer.
01:20:46Your mother told me you haven't been doing too well lately.
01:20:49I'm, uh...
01:20:51I'm fine.
01:20:52Just trying to find Isabelle.
01:20:56I'm fine.
01:20:57I know it's been hard for you to accept the truth.
01:21:00But Isabelle.
01:21:03Isabelle's dead.
01:21:04And she died ten years ago.
01:21:06And we have no choice but to accept it.
01:21:08I can't accept that.
01:21:10You'll never accept that.
01:21:12How can I accept it?
01:21:13The last time I saw her, I said the most.
01:21:17The most horrible things to her.
01:21:18And those words that echo in my mind all the time.
01:21:22I mean, that's the last memory she has of me.
01:21:26How can I forgive myself?
01:21:28I love her.
01:21:30And I never got to tell her.
01:21:33Alex, don't beat yourself up.
01:21:36Isabelle wouldn't have wanted you to torture yourself because of her.
01:21:39How can you be so sure?
01:21:41But I can't tell her that I love her.
01:21:43What is the point of going on living?
01:21:49When I was organizing Isabelle's things, I found this.
01:21:53And this is her last words to you.
01:21:56I hope this helps you understand how she felt.
01:22:04Hey, Alex.
01:22:08My time on Earth was short.
01:22:10But I'm leaving with no regrets.
01:22:12Because I was loved by the most incredible boy in the world.
01:22:17You, Alex Brooks.
01:22:19I hope that in a world without me, you'll be able to find your own path forward.
01:22:23And live an amazing, spectacular life.
01:22:27Love, Isabelle.
01:22:40I need something for you.
01:22:46What are you proposing to me?
01:22:48It's a friendship ring.
01:22:50Dummy.
01:22:55How did I miss this, all these years?
01:23:01Hey, Isabelle.
01:23:03I came to say goodbye.
01:23:04It was your dream to join Doctors Without Borders.
01:23:06To treat those who are as fortunate.
01:23:09Well, I went and I applied too.
01:23:11I'll leave for Sedan soon.
01:23:13I'm gonna take the love you gave me.
01:23:15And live the life that you were brave enough to dream of.
01:23:18Isabelle, you'll always be my girl.
01:23:22I love you.
